Each December many of the citizens of Lincoln and the state of Nebraska
gather together to celebrate the holiday season. Many of these
celebrations involve the serving of alcoholic beverages. An unfortunate
and tragic byproduct of these celebrations is the potential of great
harm or death caused by alcohol and drug impaired drivers on our
roadways.

With the assistance of an overtime grant from the Nebraska Office of
Highway Safety to add additional staff, Officers of the Lincoln Police
Department will begin its annual holiday effort to remove these drug and
alcohol impaired drivers from our roadways. This project will run
through the entire month of December.

This visible enforcement effort by officers throughout the month of
December will hopefully remind all motorists that driving while under
the influence is illegal, and it can be deadly. Citizens are reminded
to drive safe, drive sober, and buckle up for safety. The safety of
Lincoln citizens is the departments top priority.
